Baroque
in
Paintings
Baroque,
which
original
means
the
rough
and
imperfect
pearl
in
French,
this
period
officially
started
from
1600
to
1750.
Its
style
is
all
about
the
exaggerated
presentation
but
still
in
a
settle
way.
In
the
painting
aspect,
most
of
them
are
very
expressive
and
seem
like
telling
a
story
to
the
viewers.
Compare
the
baroques
paintings
with
those
from
Renaissance,
they
are
definitely
livelier
for
instance,
more
facial
expression
and
active
body
gesture.
This
closely
related
to
the
artists
inspiration
which
is
the
story
behind
the
painting.
The
stories
are
usually
very
dramatic
and
strong.
Some
of
these
stories
are
from
Greek
myth
and
some
of
them
just
came
from
the
daily
life.
One
of
the
brightest
features
of
Baroque
is
that
art
pieces
no
longer
restricted
to
be
related
to
religion.
The
characters
in
the
artworks
arent
just
Saints
but
can
be
nobles
or
even
ordinary
people.
The
overall
style
of
baroque
art
is
elegant
but
yet
very
alive.
The
Abduction
of
the
Daughters
of
Leucippus
from
Peter
Paul
Rubens,
one
of
the
most
iconic
paintings
in
the
Baroque
period
can
fully
explain
its
style.
The
inspiration
of
this
painting
is
from
the
Greek
myth.
The
colors
used
in
this
painting
are
very
sharp
and
eye-catching.
The
two
women
are
painted
rarely
white
and
this
makes
a
big
contrast
with
the
two
men
painted
to
become
quite
tan
looking
who
are
the
sons
of
Zeus.
For
the
point
of
view
of
viewers,
we
can
nearly
feel
the
movement
in
the
painting
by
the
curved
body
gesture
and
spiral
composition
of
the
scene.
However,
even
the
characters
are
all
bended
and
drawn
into
the
centre,
we
wont
feel
that
the
overall
picture
is
losing
balance.
This
point
made
this
painting
praised
as
one
of
the
best
paintings
in
the
Baroque
period.
Baroque
In
Fashion
But
lets
come
back
to
21
century,
how
do
artists
and
designers
take
inspiration
from
this
stately
period
and
combine
them
to
create
something
new?
When
we
are
talking
about
the
Baroque
period
in
these
days,
we
can
easily
think
of
the
fashion
and
interior
design.
The
Fall
Autumn/Winter
collection
2012
of
fashion
brand
Dolce
&
Gabbana
fully
expresses
the
style
of
Baroque
through
the
amazing
fashion
show.
The
setting
of
the
show
is
already
full
of
elements
of
Baroque-
chandelier
surrounded
with
rose
and
golden
adornments.
Back
to
the
clothing,
the
designers
are
greatly
inspired
by
the
outfit
of
the
nobles
in
Baroque
period-
the
women
are
dressed
very
feminine
but
yet
not
totally
losing
their
loftiness.
To
be
more
specific,
the
designers
are
particular
adored
the
Sicilian
Baroque
style.
They
keep
the
glamour
of
the
air
of
nobles
by
adding
golden
and
handmade
details
like
necklace,
hair
bend
and
vintage
handbag
etc
on
every
outfit.
But
by
adding
back
a
lot
of
black
lace
to
the
outfit
tones
the
glamour
down
a
bit
to
make
it
more
modern
like.
Also
one
of
the
biggest
features
in
this
collection
is
that
the
designers
add
some
baroque
style
print
on
the
dresses
like
rich
still
life
flowers
and
Cherub
angles.
On
the
other
hand,
its
official
promoting
photos
are
also
fairly
similar
to
the
style
of
Baroque.
There
are
a
lot
of
models
in
one
photo
and
everyone
is
seems
like
arranged
a
role
like
mother,
son,
grandmother
etc.
Compare
this
series
of
photos
with
typical
fashion
advertisement,
these
from
Dolce
and
Gabbanna
are
more
energetic
and
involved
a
lot
more
movement.
The
models
are
no
longer
just
standing
still
in
front
of
the
camera
but
they
are
like
acting
out
a
story.
This
kind
of
composition
is
similar
to
the
usual
approach
for
artists
in
Baroque
period.
Those
art
histories
are
very
inspiring
and
provided
a
lot
of
precious
artworks
to
the
artists
in
these
days.
It
doesnt
matter
whether
we
are
really
named
as
artist
or
not,
we
can
still
find
some
special
elements
that
we
love
and
appreciate
to
adapt
in
our
daily
life.
I
am
looking
forward
to
see
that
more
people
can
learn
to
cherish
these
valuable
art
pieces
created
in
the
past.
